Abstract

Maximum conservation of renal parenchyma and normal renal function is mandatory in the treatment of renal trauma. Persistent hemorrhage in cases of blunt renal trauma, demonstrated by angiography, can be treated by arterial embolization, conservatively. A case of renal hemorrhage following renal trauma in a 27-year-old man, treated by selective renal arterial embolization, was presented with a brief review of literature.
